The day of great African kingdoms has passed away, but the spirit of the African people remains unconquered.

The most essential departure of this new civilisation is that it shall be thoroughly spiritual and humanistic—indeed a regeneration moral and eternal.

The African people, although not a strictly homogeneous race, possess a common fundamental sentiment which is everywhere manifest, crystallising itself into one common controlling idea.

The white people of this country have formed what is known as the Union of South Africa—a union in which we have no voice in the making of laws and no part in their administration.

We have called you to this conference so that we can together devise ways and means of forming our national union for the purpose of creating national unity and defending our rights and privileges.
